found a weird EBAY TACH... mech and only to 4k
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
I thought I would post this in case someone needs it.. I actually bid and then realized it was a mechanical tach that only goes to 4k.. I dont know much about them but thought it could be rare or someone might want to snag it. If you have any info on it please post.. like what its out of.

Re: found a weird EBAY TACH... mech and only to 4k
Being from a bigger truck, wouldn't it also have a vacuum gauge?

Coming from a Diesel powered truck, no. Diesel engines do not produce a manuifold vacuum signal like a gasoline engine does. Now, if the diesel truck were equipped with a separate vacuum pump, then yes.

Re: found a weird EBAY TACH... mech and only to 4k
That is what another board member was thinking as well. He almost caught me thinking it was a 1/2 ton truck tach. Then I started looking closer.

Re: found a weird EBAY TACH... mech and only to 4k
This would work on your 6.5 project if you had a way to hook up a cable driven tach to the 6.5.

Re: found a weird EBAY TACH... mech and only to 4k
They usually have a provision with a drive gear on the engine somewhere. It usually has a area that has thread near the injection pump that will drive the tach.

Re: found a weird EBAY TACH... mech and only to 4k
yeah I know.. that seemed really high for a as-is auction with a guy with bad feedback.. Still though it probably is a harder to find item.

That cluster looks like it was either: from a truck with a fire, or just plain dirty.
